    Tonight I continue my theme of Absolutely True Stories…

    An onion, a rutabaga and a carrot are out for a drive when they get into a bad accident. The onion and the rutabaga aren’t seriously injured, but the carrot seems to be in bad shape. 911 is called; the carrot is rushed to the ER. Hours go by as the onion and rutabaga sit nervously in the waiting room.

    Finally, the surgeon comes out. “Well, I have good news and bad news,” he begins. “Your friend is still alive; that’s the good news.”

    “And the bad news?” the rutabaga asks.

    “I’m afraid he’s going to be a vegetable the rest of his life.”

    Not sure how the 128 baby Bobtail Squid felt about this decision. I doubt it ended well for them.

    In more recent news, wild Goffin’s cockatoos have been observed making and using a set of tools in a specific order. That is the first time such behavior has been observed in non-primates.

    On the topic of golden toilets, At some point in times past a middle aged man with a drinking problem got invited to a lavish party at the home of a very wealthy man. After drinking all his bladder could hold, he sought out the necessary room, and being not familiar with the home, asked one of the wait staff, who told him to turn left, right at the next hallway intersection. So of course he turned right, and upon entering his drunken eyes were confronted by a golden toilet. Amazing he thought, and proceeded to use the vessel, not just once but over the course of the evening. The next day he was talking to a very good friend of the host and expressed his amazement at the golden toilet. As soon thereafter as he could get away, the host’s friend gave him a call and said: “Well, I found out who peed in your tuba last night”. Ba-da-bing."

    What can we learn from sending squid up in space that we didn’t already learn by sending humans up there for a year?

    In our neighbourhood, it’s raccoons that do what the cockatoos do.
